Public Consultation on Minimum Wage

The Government is making major changes to the UK minimum wage rates and has asked the Low Pay Commission (LPC) to report and gather evidence on these new arrangements.

It has asked the LPC to report on the future level of the existing UK minimum wage rates, by February 2016. Secondly it has asked the LPC to report on the future level of the new National Living Wage (NLW), which will be introduced in April 2016 and applies to workers aged 25 and over.
